PLACES - Exterior and interior spaces
Mine Garden 2025 collective exhibition, running throughout the summer
For this year's exhibition at the Bánya Kert, we have selected a selection of the phenomena of the Hungarian contemporary art scene.
Every year we make sure that young and old alike can find their favourites among the exhibits, the latter of which looks very much at home in the white and rigid gallery walls and in a lively, vibrant space, namely our own Bánya Kert. And we love the multi-cultural diversity.
This year we have chosen three artists with a strong formal language: Tatiana Bartha Perla, Dani Labrosse and Balázs Lobot.
Schedule
✎ Tatiana Bartha Perla used the tools of naïve painting to evoke with a brush some of the stops she made during her travels in the Mediterranean region. Odysseus has also made a journey, sea, ship, travel - millennia-old, universal and never-ending motifs appear on the artist's canvases. Despite the naïve, blotchy depiction, his visions are palpable when looking at the paintings: you can almost smell the sea and hear its roar.
✑ It must be great to be a Labrosse Dani, living in a world with such lovely, colourful and imaginative characters. Everything and everyone in the spaces in his work is very individual, alive, bustling, starting, walking, striving, having fun, looking, conversing - in other words, existing as a kind of cretin of the artist at the very best of existence.
✒︎ Balázs Lobot's strong formal language is both playful and serious. The dynamism of his works reflects the inner dynamics of the artist, while in his exterior and interior spaces, the viewer is easily lost and finds himself thinking “wow, how long have I been staring at this painting”. Lobot's brilliantly designed maze leads us through walls, roads, chimneys, natural phenomena and dimensional shifts.

That's all we have to say about the images, so that you can think about these things, for example, when you look at the exhibition. Enjoy!
